Meeting with Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, on Wednesday, Al-Hussein expressed his willingness to further support Vietnam in promoting bomb and mine clearance and assisting victims. He said he hopes that Vietnam will continue to contribute its voice to promoting international attention and share experience and practice in this work.

Ambassador Giang said although the war ended many years ago in Vietnam, post-war bombs, mines and UXO still caused a lot of pain, leaving great consequences.

The Vietnamese Party, State and Government have always paid great attention to and made great efforts to overcome consequences and support bomb and mine victims. However, Vietnam still needs more resources and international support to complete bomb and mine clearance, he said.

Vietnam supports many important contents and humanitarian aspects in relevant conventions, including the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty, Giang said, adding that Vietnam has always actively promoted international cooperation in this field through both bilateral and multilateral channels.
